  Hi
  
  I noticed these on my rabbit this morning on both feet she has plenty of fur around them still but should I take her to a vet or are they just callus’
  
  she doesn’t seem to be in pain when I touch them and she’s got normal activity just concerned as never seen them on any of my previous rabbits.

  It’s a little hard to tell from the picture but they don’t appear to be red?
  
  Were they covered by a flap of fur? If so that’s more of a callus, so I would just keep an eye on it and try to make her flooring softer.

  They’re covered by her fur.

  They look like calluses. Is she litter trained at all? Could you cover the wood floor with something softer, like a mat?

  She’s litter trained yes she goes into a tray in corner but then she also likes to sit in it so we regularly clean it out.
  I could try putting a mat down and see how she goes on she’s just a nightmare and pulls everything up she just likes to sit on the wood!

  Layers or cardboard or paper mats could work. Even if she shreds them up they will still do the job!
